Taking place at the company’s UK headquarters in Ansty Park, Coventry on 12th-14th November 2024, the event will bring together speakers from global giants such as Airbus, Amazon and Cummins with automation influencers from Make UK, Automate UK and FANUC Europe. In addition to 30+ exhibitors, live robot demonstrations and the live final of the WorldSkills UK Industrial Robotics competitions, visitors can enjoy presentations, panel debates and discussions from over 20 automation experts on such hot topics as the current state of UK manufacturing, how to attract young people into manufacturing and the adoption of robotics into SMEs.
Hands-on robot experiences
FANUC’s Open House has now firmly cemented itself as an unmissable highlight of the automation calendar, attracting a mix of over 600 manufacturers, robotics experts, academics, students, MPs and press. Each morning is focused on speaker presentations and panel debates, while the afternoon sessions are devoted to hands-on robotics experiences. Visitors are encouraged to take part in FANUC Academy taster sessions, enjoy live demonstrations of the latest automation innovations, network with peers, seek solutions from FANUC’s exhibitor partners, and support the talented young people competing in the WorldSkills UK finals.
Reflecting the key challenges facing today’s manufacturers, each day has a distinct theme:
- Day 1 (Tues 12th Nov): Enabling Step Change for Automation Adoption
- Day 2 (Weds 13th Nov): Education for Automation Adoption
- Day 3 (Thurs 14th Nov): UK Automation 2030
“From alleviating labour challenges and increasing productivity to improving sustainability credentials, there are so many ways in which automation can empower British manufacturers to futureproof their enterprises and ensure that as a nation, we can continue to compete on the world stage. Encouraging young people into the industry is essential to this vision, and the array of burgeoning manufacturing talent on display at Open House will be an inspiration to many. I look forward to welcoming visitors to our Coventry HQ this November.”
